Not even D- for Dune?
ReplyDeleteI had to struggle to finish it. The film is a noble failure, but it's still one of the worst I've ever seen.
DeleteI love Birdman and Magnolia too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you love those as well. I hadn't seen Magnolia in years, so I needed to give it another look.
DeleteUh... was it the David Lynch version of Dune?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I could barely finish it. I'm a Lynch fan, but Dune was awful.
DeleteLynch himself thought it was awful. Any extended cuts of the film is not by him.
DeleteI saw the theatrical version. I couldn't stomach an extended cut.
DeleteAnother impressive run of films.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wendell!
DeleteI wanted to love The End of the Affair because of my love of Julianne Moore and Ralph Fiennes but I found it ponderous. Maybe it's the story because I found the older Deborah Kerr version equally blah. Glad to see you liked Made in Dagenham and Please Give. I'm looking forward to seeing The Homesman, it looks intriguing. Wasn't Dune just the worst!!! I walked out of the theatre when I made the mistake of going to see it on it's initial release.
ReplyDeleteI watched The End of the Affair with no expectations, so I was surprised that I loved it so much. For me, it was melodrama done right. I watched Please Give and Made in Dagenham in preparation for making images for my 2010 awards. Amanda Peet in the former film is now in my Supporting lineup. I loved The Homesman. It really deserved more attention during the last awards season. Dune was horrible. It was hard to watch the whole thing.
DeleteHow did you like Moore performance in The End of the Affair?
ReplyDeleteShe was wonderful. I nominate her for that performance now.
DeleteGreat run of films! Love your love for Mr. Turner and Two Days, One Night. I've heard nothing but bad things about Dune, so rest assured, I won't be watching it any time soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Haha, Dune is so bad.
DeleteOooh I really want to see The End of the Affair now. Funny but I watched two separate things w/ Fiennes and Rea in them.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me I still need to see Magnolia too!
Hi Ruth! The End of the Affair is very romantic, if you like that sort of thing. ;)
DeleteYou should definitely check out Magnolia. It has several great performances, and it's my favorite PTA film.
Looks like you had a very good February!
ReplyDeleteI need to watch The End of the Affair.
If you watch The End of the Affair, go in with an open mind. It's very melodramatic, but I loved it.
